  3. Japanese culture has, in their subtle way of never saying anything outright, been telling us that having a Japanese Girlfriend is bad news. No wonder Japanese men never gripe when American GIs date local girls. They probably laughing on the inside like "HA! Jokes on YOU, GI!"

  4.  @stabinojablonski  "Renewables are flawed and will eat up lots of land" Have you looked at your roof lately? You doing anything with it other than collecting birdshit and tar? The real estate for solar is over every one of your heads, you nitwits. The math was already done years ago on this one. If south facing roofing was even half photovoltaic paneling, it would provide 43% of the national energy budget. Currently, Coal is 23%, and Natural Gas is 35%. Even if you left out residential homes, but most commercial & government roofing used that wasted south facing roof acreage to host panels, you would eliminate Coal from the market forever. Edit: Wind is already accounting for 7%, nearly half of what Nuclear power gives us, and it's barely established infrastructure that's still expanding and saving power companies assloads of cash and upping profit margins per kWh.

  5. Stop being pedantic. The verbage doesn't matter, but the body count sure does. None of us were trained to use 3 round burst on our M4's either. We were all taught controlled pairs. The Automatic Rifleman's weapon in the fireteam went to the SAW, and the rest of us, by doctrine, engage equally armed enemy elements with a SEMI AUTOMATIC mode. Whether a civilian AR variant or a select fire issue M4, we use them the same way, to rapidly close with and kill on a battlefield, against entire platoons as heavily armed as we were. Not burglars, muggers, or rioters in our hometowns.

  6. Old, standard, straight form the NRA playbook talking points. Still pedantic garbage to back up a flawed need to cling to excessive firepower. The increase in high bodycount mass shootings is directly proportional to the dramatic increase in their sales since Colt lost the patent and they started growing on trees. But you are correct that this applies to handguns as well. Noone said that hi cap handguns shouldn't be taken out too. A 27 round Glock vs a 7 round 1911? Different ballpark. A 30 round FN Five-seveN vs a .38 snub? Not even the same sport. https://www.statista.com/statistics/811504/mass-shooting-victims-in-the-united-states-by-fatalities-and-injuries/

  7. "Diana Blackman" must be how the software translated "Boris Yvanovich". 3 things the Russians will always foam at the mouth about and lose their cover over: How White they are, how "victorious" their Military is, and how militantly Christian they are. Combine any of those with any criticism of Russia, and they immediately show up with their hair on fire, and no pretense of being a Middle American Housewife anymore

  10. Depends on your size. But once you put your basic ammo load, camelbak, x-sapi plates, etc. on it's over 45 lbs for a larger guy around my size.

  11. Gary Ridgway, aka The Green River Killer, who murdered 90+ women in just two years, is not a terrorist. He's a serial killer. He had no political motive, which is the defining item for Terrorism. Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, murdered 3 and wounded many times more. HE was a terrorist. When armed nutjobs from outside my state staged an armed takeover of Malheur Wildlife Refuge just last year, THAT was terrorism. SCALE does not dictate terrorism. Purpose defines it.

  12. I'm penciling in Robert Reich and John Cena in the re-election. I can't think of anything cooler than President Reich riding on the back of Cena like Master Blaster. Robert Reich: "Who run America Town?" Putin: "You know who..." Robert Reich: "Say..." Putin: "Master Blaster runs America Town." Robert Reich: "Lift. Embargo." What could be cooler than VP Cena being announced in the House of Representin' than hearing "Mr Speaker, the Vice President of The United States...JOOOOOOOOOOHN CEEEEEEEEEEENA!" I mean, if you're gonna have a bully pulpit, have a BULLY pulpit.

  13. Officers are frequently taught to now allow a suspect to "lawyer up". Every shot is meant to be lethal. This is taught quietly, but pervasively. It's a known defense that if you pump the entire magazine into a target, you can claim "it all happened so quickly, it was a desperate situation and I was in fear of my life" Not long ago, a 9 year old with an orange plastic squirtgun in his own yard was shot with 2 full magazines out of a Beretta (that's 30 rounds) and the cop got off with this line. The guy RELOADED and kept shooting this kids body. And no, he wasn't black. ANYONE and anyones CHILDREN is at risk of Adam Henry cops out to get a righteous shoot. I took the kevlar panels out of my own IBA and made my son wear it under his jacket as much as I could after that incident. Are these kind of cops a majority? No, I don't think so. But I do think they are a large enough fraction that you can do it on one hand. Remember: Police departments are given power by their municipality equal to that of the legislature, and it is held that they must function for the public good. If they do not, the City may fire every single last one of them, and start over.

  21. "Commerce is our goal here at Tyrell. More human than human is our motto. Rachael is an experiment, nothing more. We began to recognise in them a strange obsession. After all they are emotionally inexperienced, with only a few years in which to store up the experiences which you and I take for granted. If we gift them a past, we'd create a cushion, a pillow for their emotions and consequently we can control them better." - Dr Eldon Tyrell "Commerce is our goal here at Church. More Sheep than Sheep is our motto. Jesus is an experiment, nothing more. We began to recognise in them a strange Christian obsession. After all they are educationally inexperienced, with only a few religions in which to completely fabricate the existentialism which you and I take for granted. If we gift them a Savior, we'd create a cushion, a pillow for their need to believe and consequently we can control them better." - Every Evangelical Pastor and Conservative Politician. Ever.

  22. Actually, the very definition of Evangelical is that they're recruiters. Recruiters don't thrive on people "not listening to what they have to say". Pushing their religion, or as they call it "Spreading the Good News", is what separates an Evangelical from other sects. They force their foot into your door jamb, festoon your porch with flyers, shout in your face from street corners, and now they're making moves to include Church in State by allowing churches to contribute to political campaigns. They demand to be in your bedroom and in your reproductive organs. Evangelicals have always done this since reaching the New World, and there has never been a point where they simply "shared" their opinions. They have pushed them at gunpoint and with legal means. It's not 1775. And we don't have to take that anymore.

  24. Cops behaving like this is what causes a breakdown in civil order. Pitchforks and torches are the natural response. No law in the land, no organization or authority, no sense of civic reason would stop the personal Vendetta that would surely follow the murder of your must loved one.

  25.  SaltyBrains  Ironically, I do have some well-maintained MOPP gear. Now if that doesn't make me sound like a crazy doomsday prepper, nothing will. But I will never go full Bunker Troll and turn my life upside down like a crazy Militia nut. I just believe in having a decent emergency plan and bug out box in the garage, whether it's man made or natural disaster. Fieldcraft/Wood tools and hardware, heritage seeds, preserved foods, cold weather gear, water purifiers, shelter, lots of fire goodies, hygiene and surplus NBC decon stuff, basic medical supplies, solar kit & camp electronics, and a bike. Oh, and socks. LOTS of socks, lol :) Edit: FYI, my local bugout area is Florence, Oregon. Wind patterns, fresh water, far from known target areas, available resources, Pacific fishing, agricultural resources, and livable space make it a place for a sizable population to get back on it's feet without going underground in a nuclear scenario. Pretty much anything from Coos Bay, OR down to Eureka, CA is a good place to evacuate to, and could sustain several million along that stretch of the coast.

  28. Oh man, the Russian sweatgoblin team is here in full force today. Problem is, their Varsity team seems to be whittled down, and only the second string JV team seems to be manning the cubicle farm. The same tards who can barely make a sentence in English here keep self identifying whenever a story about Putin shows up: They rabidly promote and endorse him in the most cringy ways. I would like to play poker with you guys sometime, because you all have some SERIOUS tells

  29. Well, I applaud your openness. As a salty retired man myself, I've owned my own business, been a union worker, and been a non-union victim employee of companies that managed to successfully leverage propaganda against unionization. And I've seen what they do when they succeed. I still stand by unions as the last bastion between Peasant Serfdom to the rich. But they need to police themselves better. Too many times I saw stupid stuff brought to the collective bargaining table, rather than the core items: Fair pay, safe working conditions, and respect for the people that make the company work.

  34. The one and only bright spot out of this is that it might be the kick in the strategic ass to get EU member states to consolidate their assorted militaries as a tighter whole. Which is why Putin is also quite focused on breaking down the EU piece by piece. To prevent that very kind of strategic unification that can repel him without US forces.

  36. They came to MARKET, not became legal. They were always a legal get-around by not modifying the trigger group or being a crank. Just like "pistol braces" on an AR pistol allow you to make a SBR as long as you keep the "pistol brace" on the buffer tube and no vertical foregrip (but you can have an angled one)

  37.  @DoctorSkillz  I don't wanna talk about it, lol. He's 20, trying to do everything himself and I'm gonna leave it at that. If the little fucker up and joins the military himself, I'm gonna break his legs. Didn't go through all that just to watch him make the same dumbass mistakes, lol

  39. This is now a country where, if you fall of The Grid, you aren't getting back on. Every year that goes by, it's even more impossible to recover your life. The minimum requirement checklist for not going homeless in America: 1. Already employed somehow, even if you're after another job 2. Good credit, no excuses 3. An "acceptable" social media presence 4. Already have a physical address that you've had for a while 5. Several thousand dollars saved just to RENT a shithole apartment 6. Have your own cell phone number 7. Have an email address and regular accessibility to online resources 8. Be good looking enough to be presentable to customers or management 9. Spotless legal record, or at least have found "Jesus" 10. More and more identifying documents. Simply having a pulse doesn't make you a "person" in this country anymore 11. Acceptable level of education 12. Not too much education, or too much student debt 13. Display no opinions 14. A car, clean drivers license, and insurance, even if you could just use other transport. Go ahead and show up on foot for an interview and see where that gets you 15. Don't be on probation, diversion, or recovery 16. Own the right clothes and display the right haircut 17. Don't ever look like you really need a paycheck or help. It's the surest way to ensure you will get neither To picture the "grid", imagine a sheet of graph paper. Every square on it's edge is part of the Checklist, and is lifted up and supported by a stick under each Requirement category. Your life is a ball sitting in the middle. Every time you miss a requirement, a stick is knocked out, and that ball rolls closer to the edge. The ball doesn't bounce. If you lose sticks, the ball falls off the grid, and it doesn't come back. Because almost every one the items on the grid require money somehow, and when you have no money, those fail to sustain those squares, and you won't be getting an income to buy them back. That's life in America in 2018.

  41. "They made up a theory in which Russia is planning ot attack Ukraine" That aged well. The US intelligence committee may have been horribly wrong about Iraq, but they've proven 100% accurate about Russia every step of the way.

  42.  @GrammarPaladin  You might want to explain that to the ancient Japanese or pretty much any culture throughout time. Never in history until the last few decades when "sun-tanning" by western caucasian females became a trend have women been trying to look darker skinned as a mark of beauty, in any culture. The trend has been there forever, no matter your race's history before contact with Europeans. If that bothers you on some personal level, tough titties. It's always been there in social trends, art, and written stories. Egyptians, ancient Han art, you name it. They all kept depicting high station females meant to be "beautiful" as lighter skinned than what was real.

  43.  @GrammarPaladin  You are: A. Ignoring points I've made, then somehow perversely trying to make a similar point and throw it back in my direction as a matter of....disagreement? You actually proved my point, particularly when mentioning Gyaru girl fashion vs. how I addressed that Tanning is a recent phenomenon. This is not how logic works. B. Making false claims. Please point out where I ever said or implied this is a matter of evolution. That was Kolboynik. Therefore I can only conclude you're either incapable or unwilling to actually read what I wrote and are just making comments for the sake of making comments without a valid point Edit: Actually, I take that back. You do have a point you are trying to make, albeit a false one. You are trying to claim that White people are trying to make the women of other cultures look white and conform to their standards. And my point is that the trends that made you (falsely) believe that, such as light toned skin, existed long before they ever met white people at all. Kind of like how many races each invented the Bow and Arrow, or Bread without ever having met. They are simply common themes that pop up throughout all corners of the species. Like women trying to make their skin appear smooth, pale, or what they deem to be otherwise unblemished as a matter of beauty as they compete for males of higher status. Or fancy clothes and dancing. Also a female specific, species wide phenomenon that pops up without any need for contact between disparate cultures. It is, simply, a Girl Thing.

  49. I cast an Absentee ballot while I was deployed overseas, which was applied to a different district due to my location and duty posting was a Legal Residence, but as an Oregon resident because of my Home of Record prior to that, my original state sent another to my mailbox since it's a vote-by-mail state, and I have always been registered long before being mobilized and shipped out. I could have voted twice without understanding there was any difference at all if that ballot had been forwarded to my APO address. Because "Home of Record" and "Legal Residence" sound an awful lot alike, but they are not. Unless you're comfortable with the idea that your vote might be thrown out because you mailed in the wrong one, any reasonable person would mail them both in expecting one to be thrown out, and the appropriate one counted.

  50. Yeah, well, he still wanted to deny people's votes by attacking mail in voting. So the nonsense is still there, he's just not shouting because he is lacking a mob to back him up
